Global Warming

Snow Falls In Metro Atlanta


Metro Atlanta residents flood Channel 2
Action News with calls of snow flurries overnight. Our cameras caught a
steady stream of snow on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta.



None of the snow stuck. With temperatures Saturday morning hovering around the freezing mark, Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said Easter Sunday would be colder than it was on Christmas.

The Declaration of Arbroath 1320

The Declaration of Arbroath 1320 by John Prebble

The Declaration of Arbroath was and has been unequalled in its eloquent plea for the liberty of man. From the darkness of medieval minds it shone a torch upon future struggles which its signatories could not have foreseen or understood.

The author of this noble Latin address is unknown, though it is assumed to have been composed by Bernard de Linton, Abbot of Arbroath and Chancellor of Scotland.

Above the seals of eight earls and forty-five barons, it asked for the Pope's dispassionate intervention in the bloody quarrel between the Scots and the English, and so that he might understand the difference between the two its preamble gave him a brief history of the former.

The laughable fiction of this is irrelevant. What is important is the passionate sincerity of the men who believed it, who were placing a new and heady nationalism above the feudal obligations that had divided their loyalties less than a quarter of a century before. In its mixture of
defiance and supplication, nonsensical history and noble thought, two things make the Declaration of Arbroath the most important document in Scottish history.

Firstly it set the will and the wishes of the people above the King. Though they were bound to him 'both by law and by his merits' it was so that their freedom might be maintained. If he
betrayed them he would be removed and replaced. This remarkable obligation placed upon a feudal monarch by his feudal subjects may be explained in part by the fact that Bruce was still a heather king to many of them, still a wild claimant ruling upon sufferance and success.
But the roots of his kingship were Celtic, and a Celtic tradition was here invoked, the memory of the Seven Earls, the Seven Sons of Cruithne the Pict in who, it was believed, had rested the ancient right of tanistry, the elevation of kings by selection. This unique relationship
of king and people would influence their history henceforward, and would reach its climax in the Reformation and the century following, when a people's Church would declare and maintain its superiority over earthly crowns.

Secondly, the manifesto affirmed the nation's independence in a way no battle could, and justified it with a truth that is beyond nation and race. Man has a right to freedom and a duty
to defend it with his life. The natural qualifications put upon this by a medieval baron are irrelevant, as are the reservations which slave-owning Americans placed upon their declaration of independence.

The truth once spoken cannot be checked, the seed once planted controls its own growth, and the liberty which men secure for themselves must be given by them to others, or it will be taken as they took it. Freedom is a hardy plant and must flower in equality and brotherhood.

Muslim Demands


A H/T to Al Hammel.



TWISTED LOGIC - POOR OLD MUSLIMS -

THEY GET INSULTED - WE GET BEHEADED



The Pope says that jihad violence is against God's nature,

and officials fear that in response,

Muslims enraged by this insult will commit ...
jihad violence.



Muslims murder 3,000 innocents in New York and the Pentagon

and expect no criticism.


Muslims murder 202 tourists in Bali

and expect no criticism.


Muslims murder 333 schoolchildren and their teachers in Beslan

and expect no criticism.


Muslims murder 292 innocents,

mainly Kenyans and Tanzanians at two US Embassies

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 241 US and 58 French peacekeepers in Beirut

and expect no criticism.



Muslims fire 4,000 Katyusha rockets into Northern Israel

killing over 50 innocent civilians

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 52 in London and 191 in Madrid

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 200 in Mumbai

and expect no criticism.



Muslims behead

Western hostages in Iraq,

Buddhist monks in Thailand,

Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 500,000 in Darfur

and expect no criticism.



Muslims regard Jews as 'sons of pigs and monkeys',

and vow to nuke Israel

and expect no criticism.



Muslims force women to wear hideous sacks,

stone to death women for getting raped and for leaving the home unescorted, engage in honor killings of sisters and daughters for unapproved dating,

and expect no criticism.



Muslims danced in the streets

and handed out sweets to their kids to celebrate the 9/11 atrocity,

and still expected no criticism.



Since 9/11 Muslims have killed over 26 ,000

and wounded over 50,000 in terrorist attacks worldwide

and expect no criticism.



Since 9/11 Muslims have committed terrorist attacks in

Afghanistan,

Algeria,

Bangladesh,

Belgium,

Chad,

Chechnya,

Dagestan,

Denmark,

East Timor,

Egypt,

England,

Eritrea,

Ethiopia,

France,

Germany,

India,

Indonesia,

Ingushetia,

Iran,

Iraq,

Israel,

Jordan,

Jordan-Iraq,

Kabardino-Balkans,

Kenya,

Kosovo,

Kuwait,

Kyrgyzstan,

Lebanon,

Mauritania,

Morocco,

Netherlands,

Nigeria,

Pakistan,

Gaza-Palestinian Authority,

Philippines,

Qatar,

Russia,

Saudi Arabia,

Scotland,

Somalia,

Spain,

Sri Lanka,

Sudan,

Syria,

Tajikistan,

Thailand,

Tunisia,

Turkey,

United Arab Emirates,

United Arab Republic,

United States,

Uzbekistan

and Yemen,


and still expect no criticism.


Muslims have carried out over 7,000 fatal terrorist atrocities since 9/11,
and countless thousands since Islamic conquest began in 623 AD

and expect no criticism.



But if a Pope dares to tell the truth about Islam

or Danes publish cartoons about Mohammed,

then let the outpourings of Islamic hate and outrage begin.



And, by some twisted reach of logic,

the arrogant bastards demand the Pope issue an apology.

I am John Doe

From Michelle Malkin
UPDATED with VIDEO




Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,

You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.

I am John Doe.

I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at
your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on
your lift.

I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.

I am John Doe.

I will never forget the example of the passengers of United
Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves
be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.

I will never forget the passengers and crew members who
tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight
63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean.

I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who
notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class
cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned
out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.

I will act when homeland security officials ask me to "report suspicious activity."

I will embrace my local police department's admonition: "If you see something, say something."

I am John Doe.

I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing "scholars."

I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.

I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.




Respectfully,

John Doe
